sorry

i like the DP6s. they are suddle yet striking.

WKderF · 01-11-2005, 05:41 PM

i usualy dont like 6 spoke wheels but those FF6 wheele are nice. really nice. my vote goes to them.

Zeropistonz · 01-11-2005, 05:56 PM

I like the DP6 as well

PSI Chick · 01-11-2005, 06:32 PM

ff6's are really nice. one thing to consider is that motegi's are usually a pretty heavy rim, might want to check into their weight before buying. rotational mass is a factor....

the mike · 01-11-2005, 06:56 PM

You should check out the Grids SubyDude has. They are also a six spoke design. The Boosts are nice too since ADVAN RG's are soooo pimp.

or you could by mine.... ;)

jigga_x · 01-11-2005, 09:32 PM

DP6

MuddyREX · 01-11-2005, 11:00 PM

Definitely buy the Rotas

alachua · 01-12-2005, 12:04 AM

Try and fight a weight on any wheel before you buy. A few pounds may not seem like much, but 15-20lbs of unsprung rotational mass makes a HUGE difference in the performance of your car. Personally, I loved the look of the G-games 77wolf on my old wrx. For a low cost solution, I say look into a set of Rota's or start spying the private for sale forums for a good used deal. You have all winter to buy the wheels, so no rush.

EaglesChico · 01-12-2005, 12:28 AM

thanks all
yeah i have checked out alot of rims lately and rotas are top on my list even the grids
The reason for the motegi's is the nice lip they give. shinny!
that and because i can get a good deal on em'

in no rush realy, just looking for some input

>>anyone have motegi's or know of anyone who has a set???

MuddyREX · 01-12-2005, 12:31 AM

You can get rotas with a polished lip. Check out www.oakos.com for some pretty good rota deals. Thats where I'll be getting mine.

EaglesChico · 01-12-2005, 12:44 AM

basically i want to be a little different that most
I do understand that Rotas are a very good name but i want to try something a little different

and the prices at oakos are similar to subydude

alachua · 01-12-2005, 01:04 AM

Check these out. They rocked on my wrx.

I still have them actually, and may be looking to sell them if i can get the one llip fixed (repeat after me: Azenis ST-115's are not a snow tire)

-Cliff

Black_Rain · 01-13-2005, 12:02 AM

I agree w/ the post above this...they look espcially good on wrb but i think silver would look good too

EaglesChico · 01-13-2005, 12:40 AM

Did some research on the weights

So far nothing for the Motegi's

as for the Rotas
>Grids = 18lbs
>Tarmac II's = 20.20 Lbs.

and the stockers weigh about 16.5lbs

dam unsprung
>i want function over form!

any other wheels??
NOT TOO EXPENSIVE PLEASE. thanks
